Lethe (Jaela, Surraruthru, Moore)

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "It may not be a bad idea for some of our spellcasters to occasionally cast Lay of the Land to make sure we're going in the right direction, or perhaps once we cross over... although that spell may be dangerous to use where we're going." Moore shakes his head. "I can do it, if necessary."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods.

"I'll empower everyone before we hit the target directly. I can cast some very powerful spells on us, but they have limited duration. I'll focus on counter spelling and strategic strikes after."

[Anastasia]

"Be ready with that," Mirima says, "Dragon, make sure to counter evil spells in particular. Some of our angelic allies can only be slain by them."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Sure."

[Anastasia]

From here Aurora advances, Cresiel at the gate and leading the way. He peers ahead into the fog and raises a hand, "Stop, we approach and the forces of evil rouse. We will crush them."

"Hear that? Time to make a difference," Gisfal smiles, readying his blade. He points ahead, "Out now in good order. For Lifasa!"

"FOR LIFASA!" The cry echos amid Aurora's forces as forces pour out.

Chance to do anything to prep or just go with the flow of the coming army battle.

[Nephrite]

Moore's going to wait for the battle to start to start doing his thing, all his other stuff is prepped in advance via the arch and so on.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru connects his Tapestry to the other big name heroes in the group: Grisfal, Mirimia, Moore, and five squad leaders. Once connected, he begins pouring his magical power into the Tapestry, empowering them all.

Everyone:

Level 1:
Shield: CL 27, 27 minutes,  It negates magic missile attacks directed at you. The disk also provides a +4 shield bonus to AC. This bonus applies against incorporeal touch attacks, since it is a force effect. The shield has no armor check penalty or arcane spell failure chance. Unlike with a normal tower shield, you can't use the shield spell for cover.

Level 2:
Resist Energy x5:(Player's Handbook v.3.5, p. 272) CL 27, Duration 270 minutes, grants resistance 30 to energy type

Level 3:
Greater Magic Armor: (Spell Compendium, p. 136), CL 24, Duration 24 hours, This spell functions like mage armor (PH 249), except that it requires no material component and its tangible field of force provides a +6 armor bonus to Armor Class.

Level 4:
Ray Deflection: (Spell Compendium, p. 166), CL 27, Duration 27 minutes, For the duration of the spell, you are protected against ranged touch attacks, including ray spells and ray attacks made by creatures. Any ray attack directed at you is automatically reflected harmlessly away.

Stoneskin: (Player's Handbook v.3.5, p. 284), CL 27, Duration 270 Minutes, The subject gains damage reduction 10/adamantine. Once the spell has prevented a total of 10 points of damage per caster level (maximum 150 points), it is discharged.

Iron Bones: (Spell Compendium, p. 125), CL 24, Duration 240 minutes, The creature gains a +6 natural armor bonus to AC.

Level 7:
Spell Turning: (Player's Handbook v.3.5, p. 282), CL 27, Duration 270 minutes/expended, Spells and spell-like effects targeted on you are turned back upon the original caster. The abjuration turns only spells that have you as a target. Effect and area spells are not affected. Spell turning also fails to stop touch range spells. From seven to ten (1d4+6) spell levels are affected by the turning. The DM secretly rolls the exact number. When a spell is turned, the DM subtracts its level from the amount of spell turning left.

Energy Absorption: (Complete Mage, p. 103), CL 27, Duration 27 hours/expended, The subject gains resistance 10 against all five energy types: acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic. As an immediate action, the subject can cause the spell to absorb the power of a single energy-based attack. The subject gains immunity to any energy types used in that attack (but only for that attack), and also heals a number of points of damage equal to 1/2 the damage the effect would normally have caused.

Surraruthru only:
Level 10:
Energy Immunity: CL 27, Duration 24 hours, This abjuration grants a creature complete protection against damage from whichever one of five energy types you select: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. The spell protects the recipient's equipment as well. Choosing fire.

[Anastasia]

Surraruthru and Moore take position in the back as they weave spells. Lillend are around and behind you, while Gisfal and Mirima lead human martial artists and eladrin forward.

Ahead you can see figures coming out from the fog, distance making everything hazy. But you can hear them more - battle cries as they face off against inhuman things, the warshouts of devils in infernal. Throughout it Gisfal's voice booms, "Hold the line and support the troops," he commands, "Bardic music, now!"

Act as you please, you two. You're in the back and away from combat at the moment. Crappy visibility makes what's going on ahead iffy at best.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru uses his Wand of Battlemagic Perception on himself while waiting for things to really kick off.

[Nephrite]

With that said, Moore starts his routine.

"Everyone!" He calls out into the area, as magic begins to envelop him and he puts a hand to his chest. "Today we show all of Creation what Aurora is made of! Show them our courage!" His words boom across the battlefield, as he hopes it reaches all of their soldiers.

He's casting Harmonize (allows Bardic music to be started with a movement action) and Inspire Courage. He's also activating the Badge of Valor for more Inspire Courage bonuses.

Total bonus is +16, with fey and plants getting +18. That is to hit, damage and saves against charm and fear.

Music and spells cross the battlefield as combat is joined. You can hear the clash of arms and see the flashes of magic. "Forward, the devils can't stop us like this!" Mirima cries as your forces begin to steadily advance.

"Yes, and watch the rear. Surraruthru, Moore, keep the music going as long as you can pile on more spells!" Gisfal calls back. "Keep an eye on our rear, too!'

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru throws out another spell to boost the combat abilities of those around him!

Giving targeting priority to those attached to the tapestry first, but it's 1/level and my CL is 27, so apply it on down the line.
Level 10:
Celestial Valor: CL 27, Duration 27 minutes,  Each target of this spell gains a +8 sacred bonus to saving throws against fear and any emotion based effect that would sap the will to fight, such as calm emotions or crushing despair. In addition, celestial valor grants a +4 sacred bonus to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, armor class and saving throws. Finally, any weapon they use counts as a holy weapon for the duration, granting 2d6 extra damage against evil targets. This does not stack if the weapon already has the holy special property.

[Nephrite]

"Show them our courage and our determination!" Moore calls as he moves with the group.

He's maintaining Inspire Courage for right now since the other songs require more specific targets. He'll also add Destined Strike into the mix, which is +3 to weapon attack and damage and +11 to threat confirmation for crits. He's also got his marshal aura active, so add +11 to dex-based checks and initiative for anyone close enough to him.

[Anastasia]

Spells and music fly out. The lillend fling spells and music along with the group, armor and shielding your allies. A tremendous surge is followed by the fog-hidden battle ahead shifting, your forces advancing amid the din of war. The shrieks of devils cut down and sent back to Baator is a constant refrain as your forces march.

"Stay sharp, these are merely triflings," Gisfal calls, "Left and right wings, surge and replace as needed!" Surges of golden and white light flash amid the fog, along with flashes of red fire. As your army presses, Aurora slowly advances behind you. Meanwhile, wounded troops stagger back, calls of, "Healers!" and "Help us get back and rotate others out!" by the wounded and those that carry them when needed. Runners race out and help them, Kascha's phoenix cry heard distantly amid the din of war.

Make spot checks, you two.
